One morning mother bear 
cooked some porridge for breakfast. 

There was a little bowl of porridge 
for the baby bear. 

There was a middle-sized bowl of porridge 
for the mother bear. 

There was a great big bowl of porridge 
for the father bear. 

“This porridge is hot!” loudly cried the father. 

“This porridge is hot!” cried the mother. 

“This porridge is hot!” softly cried the baby. 















































Mother hear said, “Let ns walk in the woods. 
When we return the porridge will be cool. 
The porridge will be good to eat then.” 

So the three bears went for a walk. 

They walked in the woods. 

They walked, and walked, and walked. 
They walked for a long, long time. 

















































Knock, knock, knock. 

Who is knocking at the bears house? 
Goldenlocks is knocking. 
Goldenlocks looked in the window. 

She saw no one in the house. 

She knocked and knocked again. 

No one answered. 

She opened the door and went in. 














































G-oldenlocks liked the bears’ bouse. 
Sbe liked the three bowls of porridge. 



Goldenlocks was hungry. 

She tasted the father bear’s porridge. 
That was too hot! 

She tasted the mother bear’s porridge. 
That was too cold! 

She tasted the baby bear’s porridge. 
That was just right! 

She ate it all up.

Goldenlocks was very tired. 

She had walked a long way in the woods. 
She needed to rest. 

She sat down in the father bear’s chair. 
That was too hard! 

She sat down in the mother bear’s chair. 
That was too soft! 

Then, she sat down in the baby bears chair. 
That was just right! 

She sat and played in the little chair. 

She played so long that she broke it all up. 
Poor Goldenlocks fell to the floor.

Goldenlocks was very sleepy. 

She lay down upon the father bear’s bed. 
That was too high! 

She lay down upon the mother bear’s bed. 
That was too low! 

She lay down upon the baby bear’s bed. 
That was just right! 

It was so cozy. 

It was so warm. 

Goldenlocks fell fast asleep.

Soon the bears came home for breakfast. 

Goldenlocks left father bear’s spoon 
in his bowl. 

“Somebody has been eating my porridge!” 
1 ondly cried the father bear. 

“Somebody has been, eating my porridge!” 
cried the mother bear. 

“Somebody has been eating my porridge 
and ate it all up!” 
softly cried the baby bear. 















































Then the bears went to their chairs. 

Goldenlocks had left the cushion crumpled 
in the father bear’s chair. 

“Somebody has been sitting on my chair!” 
loudly cried the father bear. 

“Somebody has been sitting on my chair!” 
cried the mother bear. 

“Somebody has been sitting on my chair 
and broke it all up!” 
softly cried the baby bear. 













































Then the bears went to their beds. 

G-oldenlocks had crumpled the pillow 
on the father bear’s bed. 

‘'Somebody has been lying in my bed!” 
loudly cried the father bear. 

“Somebody has been lying in my bed!” 
cried the mother bear. 

“Somebody has been lying in my bed 
and here she is!” 
softly cried the baby bear.

Goldenlocks woke up. 

She heard the three bears. 

She jumped out of bed. 

The three bears were looking at her. 
She jumped out of the window. 

She ran and ran as fast as she could. 
She never came back 
to the bears’ house again.
